    Great gaming system, huge step up from the PS4 when it comes to performance. Storage is lacking, with how big games are now a days. Nice to see an m.2 SSD slot to expand storage.

    It's big, it's sleek, it's silent. The controller is my favorite part of it, it truly feels next gen. The updated UI is also incredible... did I mention quick load times, yeah, that too. It's great machine so far.

    Not just a great console but loads and runs games at amazing speed, handles complex graphics and provides much more realism. The game sharing feature is a must for those who need help handling tough games.

    Amazing Console well worth the wait. I pre-ordered this system when released in September I was one of the fortunate customers to get one on launch day, all i can say is wow console looks amazing,graphics are out of this world and games look magnificent on this console when paired to a newer TV. I had purchased back in July a 2020 Samsung Q-LED 8K TV to play the PS5 on and it looks amazing i also have it hooked up to a Sonos ARC soundbar, a Sonos Sub,and a pair of Sonos rear surrounds so the 3d surround sound from the Sony PS5 not only plays amazing but sounds amazing as well i wanted to test the full potential this console has to offer and am very happy with my purchase best investment I ever made thank you Best Buy you rock.

    Very pleased with this purchase. Looks nice, runs great. Games look amazing. Nearly as good as on my high-end gaming PC. If you can get a hold of one, It's definitely a great upgrade from the PS4.

    The PS5 is here and I was first in line at my local BB to pick it up. It's a big boy for sure. I like the ease of use and controller feels good. Astros playroom takes advantage of showing how the haptic feedback should be used in all games lets see if developers use it. I had it displayed next to my series X and it just towers over it with its size. Only issue I have notice is when the disc spins it is really loud but then stops. Definitely love using it can't wait for God of War next year it will

    Half year review

    I’ve had my ps5 for over half a year at this point and I’ve already had lots of fun memories with it! Although it was lacking in exclusives when I got it there are plenty out now although I’ve always been satisfied just playing my ps4 games on it. So far my favorite console and the look and color of it looks amazing with my minimalist desk setup. Astro’s Playroom has got to be the best tech demo that I’ve ever played to the point that I got platinum for the game after constantly playing it for a few days. If you’re on the fence on getting it definitely buy it, there’s so much stuff that it has that I’d have to write an article just to convey, just experience it for yourself!

    I was lucky to get one and I wasn’t doing it for profit. Sony has done a really great job with this console. Everything runs super fast and on a 4K display it looks incredible. No bugs to report at this time.

    Same System, Less Money

    The Sony PlayStation 5 is a great modern gaming console. They come in two flavors. One which has a disc drive, and the other is discless, which relies on Wi-Fi or Ethernet to give your system Internet. You have to choose to pay less in the beginning and only being able to download directly from Sony from here on out, and I for one know they don't like to put their games on sale. UGH. At least with the disc model, you retain the option to shop around and get dis-counted (See what I did there) by multiple retailers all trying to get rid of the same product. The only upset is that is you pay more for the disc console upfront.

    Absolutely worth the wait and patience to purchase one from a store (best buy) its efficient in load time and graphics 4k tv 60 hz. The controller feels completely reimagined for a Playstation console!

    Really great purchase. The new UI is sooooo much better. The controller takes some time getting used to but the effects from it are really cool. Everything runs insanely smoother and much, much quicker.

    Ive been wanting a ps5 since the beginning of the launch, I am glad to say that i finally have one and am still currently amazed by it even 3 weeks after purchase. The system is amazing and the fact that now the playstation store is intergrated within the ps5 is just phenomenal. To any new user i would recommend this 10/10. The system features 8k and if you dont have an 8k tv then it would be 4k 120hz with a Solid State Drive(SSD) which has made the load times vanish. The sheer power of this system is something that I know everyone looks forward to and I know that this here will be the future of gaming for the next half decade.

    Must buy for a PlayStation fan. They nailed it on this one. Super fast and quiet. You can’t even tell the fan is on. The controller is amazing and the battery last very long. Downloads are ridiculously fast.

    Sony - PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Console

    Honestly, what do you expect? It's next-gen. The console itself to begin with looks like some type of alien object that's casually placed in your living room. The controller is fantastic, much bigger so it can grip in my hands properly now. I always liked the PS4 controller but now holding this I can see how much less of a controller it is compared to the PS5's. Lastly, you honestly won't get the full next-gen experience​ until HDMI 2.1 4k monitors come out that runs over 120hz. So if money is a little tight I​ would wait till it dies down. Not worth paying over retail for this console. So if you were thinking of buying it from those scalpers don't.
